Thrums!

As it turns out, Thrums are fun!  These super warm socks were not as challenging as I thought, and took about 12 - 14 hours to complete.  The thrumming process was more fiddly than anything, but using the Louet Norhern Lights pencil roving certainly did help make the thrums even.  I think I may make another pair with my alpaca roving for myself.

I didn't try them on, since they're for someone else, but my hand was HOT when I was kitchenering the toes!

The best part?  How cool they look when turned inside-out!



Like deranged muppet parts!
